What country would that be? LOL

I am not sure that comparing aluminium housing to "plastic" one is fair, as many people can't afford the aluminium one, or don't want to invest thousands before making sure they will like it... I bought the Fantasea CP5000 and the Nikon P5000 for slightly more than $500 which I think is a great...

True, I remember paying something like $350-$400 for my Padi OW cert. $450 is a really good deal.

I read somewhere you can use galvinized paint. How about painting the tank boot instead?

The Suunto Gekko seems to be a popular choice...

$450 is nothing for this class. First it's a 14 dives minimum, then you'll have very good lectures that will really teach you and make you understand topics such as Oceanography and how knowing about it will help you with pre-dives. You will aslo do a lot of skin diving and you will become a...

analogue gauges. I dive with a computer but wont trust one for air.

You have diverite distributors in Europe, so it shouldn't be a problem. Why don't you call them directly and asck them. I actually had to call them myself last week, they have a very good customer service.

Actually HDV is a very bad system for HD to begin with, there are 2 main reason for this. First HDV is capable to only record to a maximum of 25mps which is very compress and then to make it worst, the color space is only 4:2:0 which is pretty bad. However the Canon HDV 20 is regarded as being...

the new parking lot is really small... How many cars can you fit?

Thanks for the info... Yes, very heavy... I think I'll just get a second Faber.

I just bought my first housing. I narrowed down my search to either Ikelite or Fantasea and after doing a lot of reading on both, decided to go with Fantasea. They are twice cheaper and provide free fload insurance ( a big selling point). What I am saving by going with Fantasea pays for the...

Couldn't agree more.

I couldn't agree more. A forum should be an ongoing discussion... If it can't be, don't call it the DIR forum, call it the "DIR Q&A".

I understand that but some answers will often lead a potential reader to want to add a non DIR answer to whatever topic is discussed. Should you everytime that happen start a new thread with the same question on a different forum? Furthermore, when I log-in ScubaBoard I susually click on "new...

Welcome, where in South cal. do you live?

You won't be able to get a good picture in photoshop. A color picture is 3 channels red, green and blue. Each of the channel has a different luminance value. the problem is that your pictures are missing the red channel and it's luma value. Use a flash or a strobe...

I know I'll think twice before ever posting on DIR again. Oddly enough what attracted me to learning and reading about DIR in the first place is that it offer a different view, ultimatly a different opinion of how diving should be conducted and made safer. However in my experience it's seem that...
